Pros

Used to have good people but they all left Nice EOM parties only when target is hit (hasnt been for a while) Pool table

Cons

Culture is trash, transparency = negativity. People will speak down to you if you're more "junior" = do this because I said so. No trust in employees, huge micromanagement. Nepotism runs rampant. A couple of people who left under a certain manager name dropped them during their "exit interview" but they still got promoted as they're friends w the AD's wife. LOL! Everyone knows what the problem is, they just sweep it under the rug. Most positive reviews are written by management... If you want to know the truth, ask them what the turnover rate is. And the base salary. Work hard? No promotion. Expat? Oh what do you know - senior manager.

Thank you for your feedback, we hate to hear that your time with Meltwater fell short of your expectations. With regards to our promotions, we have always ensured that promotions are held to the highest standards, and work to advocate a strong local Singaporean core. In Q1 of this year, six of the promotions given were to Singaporeans who were highly deserving of those positional changes. Unfortunately due to COVID restrictions, we were unable to hold any end of month gatherings. Despite that, our office's 2020 results were still strong and consistent, even maintaining one of the top performing offices globally. We acknowledge and take your feedback seriously. We will continue to go above and beyond to prioritize our employees' well-being and promote a healthy work culture.

Pros

The product is cool and if properly onboarded customers will get value from it. Coworkers are fairly social If you are new to sales would be a good place to learn the basics

Cons

Probably the cheapest company I have ever worked for. Benefits are below standard, they changed the commission plan every year I was there so that you would make less money, and you are expected to share hotel rooms when you travel. Look up Meltwater on Reddit or LinkedIn. They are known for very aggressive sales tactics which you will be forced to implement on your customers. A culture of micromanagement that comes from the top down. Virtually no avenue for promotion unless you are willing to move or get lucky and someone leaves.
